Non-commutativity in the brain

Article Abstract:

The idea that there are non-commutative operators in the brain circuits dealing with rotations is controversial, as no study as clearly ruled out all commutative models. Non-commutative computation is demonstrated in the vestibulo-ocular reflex. Subjects rotated in darkness could hold their gaze points stable and correctly compute different final eye position commands, in a way that cannot be attained by any commutative system.

Optimal transaccadic integration explains distorted spaital perception

Article Abstract:

Analysis of a visuomotor system that realistically models eye movement is examined to determine the mechanics of spatial perception. Correlations between less-precise eye movements and level of saccadic suppression of displacement are noted, suggesting that the brain optimally integrates sensory and motor information to form its perception of the world.

The motor side of depth vision

Article Abstract:

Research is presented concerning the motor control which is required for the achievement of stereoscopic vision. The use of a stereogram to determine the retina-fixed nature of the brain's search zones is discussed.
